The background, evolution and the essential characteristics of the repertoire entitled "Who is who in sciences in Cuba" are dealt with in this paper. It is a reference work, published in printed and electronic version, that makes easy the identification of the most prominent personalities and institutions of Cuban sciences, the exchange of experiences between specialists and entities, as well as the development of scientific studies in different disciplines. This repertoire, which is dedicated to information professionals, science intitutions and mass media, contains the registries of some 340 professionals working in the sector of health and environment. The limited number of personalities included in the repertoire is significant, taking into account the existance of multiple institutions and personalities in the country.
